Ingredients
  • 3/4 Pound Bucatini (hollow Fat Spaghetti)
  • Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
  • 1 Pound Bulk Sweet Italian Sausage
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 Bulb Fennel
  • Trimmed, Quartered and Core Cut Away, Very Thinly Sliced
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion, very thinly sliced
  • 2 Cubanelle (or Bell Peppers if Cubanelle aren't available,)Seeded, very Thinly sliced
  • Pepper and Salt
  • 1 Cup Dry White Wine or Stock
  • 1 28 Oz Can Crushed Italian or Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes (or regular diced tomatoes but the Fire Roasted are wonderful)
  • 1/2 Cup Grated Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
  • Plus Some to Pass at the Table
  • 1 Cup Basil Leaves (about 20), shredded
  • Crusty Bread for Mopping

Directions
  1. Place a large pot of water on to boil for pasta. Salt water and add bucatini and cook to al dente.
  2. While water comes to boil and pasta cooks, make the sauce.
  3. Heat a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add about 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive oil
  4. Add sausage to the skillet and break up the sausage into small bits.
  5. Brown sausage all over then transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  6. Return pan to heat and add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, the garlic, fennel, onions and peppers.
  7. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper
  8. Cook, turning frequently, 7 to 8 minutes until tender but do not allow the fennel and onions to brown – reduce heat a bit if they begin to.
  9. Stir in the tomatoes and the sausage. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until pasta is done.
  10. Drain the pasta very well and add to the sauce
  11. Sprinkle the pasta with 1/2 cup cheese, a couple of handfuls, then toss pasta with sauce to combine.
  12. Transfer pasta to a large shallow platter and cover with the pasta with basil leaves
  13. Serve with extra cheese and pass crusty bread at the table to mop up the plates.
